LESSON 5: EXOGENIC PROCESSES


WHAT’S IN
ACTIVITY 1
1. Rocks - a natural substance composed of solid crystals of different minerals that have
been fused together into a solid lump.
2. Igneous - form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies
3. Sediments - rock formed at or near Earth's surface by the accumulation and lithification
of sediment (detrital rock)
4. Disintegration - the breakdown of rock into its constituent minerals or particles with no
decay of any rock-forming minerals
5. Decomposition - is the rotting or decaying of organic materials such as plant and animal
remains

WHAT’S NEW
ACTIVITY 2
Tearing of paper Burning of paper
Before Before
In a solid phase, clean and whole In a solid phase, clean and whole
After After
Turned into small pieces but still can be Turned into ashes and cannot be recognized
recognized as paper as paper
ACTIVITY 3
In the first picture the rocks do not have any cracks while the second picture there are
cracks on the rocks.

WHAT’S MORE
ACTIVITY 5
1. Through their burrowing and digging for food and also indirectly by opening the ground
to climatic and geomorphic influences, e.g., rain splash, needle ice, and wind erosion.
2. Humans affect erosion rates in a number of ways across the globe. Human activities such
as repeatedly walking or biking the same trails or areas can also contribute to erosion
slowly over time. Forest fires also contribute to soil erosion, as vegetation previously
holding the soil in place is often destroyed.

ACTIVITY 6

Water Erosion - when rain or snowmelt displaces the soil on the ground. The more water flowing
over the land, the more soil particles are moved or transported away. Land that has no vegetation
—including farm fields that are left barren after crop harvest—are especially vulnerable to water
erosion
Wind Erosion - large particles ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm in diameter, are rolled across the
soil surface. This causes them to collide with, and dislodge, other particles. Surface creep wind
erosion results in these larger particles moving only a few meters.

Ice Erosion - the movement of glaciers, or thawing processes. In the latter formation, water
inside pores and rock fractures expand, which causes further cracking. Glaciers erode through
one of three different processes, including abrasion, plucking, and thrusting.

ACTIVITY 7
1. Fall
 This is generally characterized by rapid or extremely rapid rate of movement with
the descent of material characterized by a freefall period. Falls are commonly
triggered by earthquakes or erosion processes.

2. Slide
 is a mass movement in which rock and soil move down a slope. An avalanche is
also a type of landslide because it moves soil and rock downslope along with ice
and snow. Another type of slide is a slump.

3. Flow
 Flows occur when the material, soil, and/or rock, behave more like a liquid or
fluid. Flows include mudflows, debris flows or lahars (superheated water that
moves down an erupting volcano). Flows occur due to a large amount of water or
ice present in the soil or material.

4. Spread
 Mass movement, often called mass wasting, is the downslope movement of a
mass of surface materials, such as soil, rock, or mud. The most basic reason is the
angle of repose, or slope of the hillside. Other causes of mass movements include
earthquakes, lack of vegetation, abundance of water, geology, and gravity.

5. Topple
 movements of rock, debris or earth masses by forward rotation about a pivot
point.

WHAT I CAN DO
ACTIVITY 11
Erosion that occurs can form many interesting natural features such as mountain peaks,
valleys, and coastlines. Erosion is actually an easily recognizable natural process, but in most
places, it is exacerbated by human activities in poor land use. The effects of soil erosion go
beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and
rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. As for what can
protect the community from the impact of erosion, namely the behavior of the community itself.
Conduct socialization activities regarding erosion, both the factors that cause erosion and their
impacts so that the community will understand more about the process of erosion. In addition,
finding the right method for better land management will certainly help maintain the land
landscape, so that it can help conserve soil or reduce erosion.
